4.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very good, (1002)
"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hotel. I expected that as an older building it would be somewhat outdated and old fashioned. In fact most of the facilities appeared to have been recently renovated from the huge triple room we had to the spa and the restaurant. Spa area is not huge but I enjoyed the wave machine in the pool and the sauna was the best I have been in. Breakfast was perfectly adequate. I didn’t dine in the restaurant but Easy Pizza next door was good. Location...

"The hotel was very nice. Very good location. My only comment is the strong perfume smell throughout the hotel excluding our room. I have a sensitivity to perfumes so I ended up with a migraine from all the perfume smells in the air. Just suggest that the hotel consider guests with sensitivity, it is a spa."

"This hotel doesn’t exist anymore. No one emailed or texted me to tell me. I called the number posted on the door; they said they tried to contact me, but that’s a lie, obviously— I wouldn’t have shown up there if they had. The very rude woman tried to get me to stay in a nearby hotel, but I went there to take a look, and it was filthy. Luckily, I was able to book other accommodations at a real hotel down the street instead. I’m going to need a full refund, of course. You can’t expect to keep the...

"Everything was as good as can with covid19 going around. Breakfast was in another hotel and it was a bit crowded taking account that we have a virus at large. Also parking space was full even tho I asked before hand and the place they advised was 1/3 more expensive than they said it would be. On plus side we got a tip to park our car for free on Saturday after 17:00, near the river."

What is a historic hotel like in Riga?

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These terms are similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe. A historic hotel tends to put more importance on the physical building and architecture. Mainly a heritage hotel draws meaning from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Riga have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you’d get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Riga doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
